I have two bluetooth earbuds that I've spent a year using thus far: 1. Airpods 2. Galaxy Buds I currently use the Galaxy buds because the form factor is considerably better - nothing drooping down my ears, tighter in-ear seal, some passive noise cancellation, and a long battery life between charges makes it my daily go-to. Airpods are just too loose for windy weather or any kind of hectic movements. The 3 hour battery life between charges means that you have to charge really soon once you get to the office after your daily commute. Sound quality is about the same between the two earbuds, but since the Galaxy buds have a better seal, you'll probably find that it's a little better at some intricate sounds. However, neither earbuds will blow you away. Bass is generally weaker than your wired alternatives too, but for the convenience, it's an okay trade. Comfort is mostly subjective, but I think the a larger variety of people will like the fit that the galaxy buds provide since they go deeper in ear and don't have anything to weight the Airpods down. It just fits more types of ears than the Airpods. This is especially true for exercising. You'd definitely have to use 3rd party tips w/ ear hooks or wings if you exercise with the Airpods. Noise Cancellation is considerably better on the galaxy buds, once again because of the deeper in ear seal. it's no active noise cancellation, but it's decent enough for passive noise cancellation. On most days, with my music playing and the galaxy buds, I hear very little and would have to pause my music if I had to listen in on public transit announcements. Sirens can still be heard though, which is important for safety. Battery life differs on both and depends on what you prefer yourself. Technically, with the charging case, Airpods have a better battery life than the Galaxy Buds, but the Galaxy buds last twice as long between charges. So, it really depends on how you intend to use it. Are you only using this while exercising, commuting, etc. as a way to make time pass more enjoyably? If so, then Airpods are okay and might be a considerably better choice. Galaxy buds do not have the capability to last a full day even with the charging case. But - you can listen to music 6 hours nonstop, before needing to charge again. So, if you're the type that needs to listen to music while working, I'd suggest the Galaxy buds just because they'd last majority of the work day. Read more

So I was admittedly apprehensive about a refurb product, but for the price, I thought why not. Everything came that I needed. Extra ear pieces, charger and charging case (Samsung original). Super easy set up on my S21. Using the Galaxy Wearable app. Lots of settings where you can change the sounds and adapt them to your liking. They didn't come with instructions on how to use the controls, only how to set up to Bluetooth. The Bluetooth set up was super easy. The minute I took them out of the charging case, my phone recognized a Samsung product to pair with before I even went to pair then manually. The sound blows my wireless Beats out of the water. They work and look brand new as well. I will now be buying my hubby a pair as well. Super pleased with my order. I haven't had them long enough to comment on the battery life, but I did receive them fully charged and that was nice Read more

These aren't bad I'm just not a big fan of the design (the way they fit in your ear) they aren't so comfortable and I have small ears. Sometimes they even fall out even after I changed the cover thingys. I use them mostly for talking on the phone and not to listen to music. When I first got them people were saying they couldn't hear me good, but there were updates available and after about 3 or 4 updates within a couple of days they were fine. They make my ears seem like they are stopped up or something because of the design you can't hear anything in which ever ear you have it in. (I guess that's suppose to be the point) I would suggest using one at a time the battery life for the ear buds themselves are only about 4hours per bud. You will hear the warning notification letting you know when there is about 15%battery life. The case battery life I would say you could recharge the ear buds maybe 2/3 times before you have to recharge it... depending on if the buds are completely dead or not. Mine have only died maybe twice but just one of them. Read more

I was hesitant to buy these after I lost my earbuds. I am so glad I did, they were affordable and the sound quality is great. They fit perfectly and were so easy to connect to my phone. Read more

I don't like writing bad reviews, but I have to here. I have had a pair these earbuds for 5 years now and I love them. They are starting to have issues, so I wanted a backup pair. This listing for refurbished excellent (like New-ALLEGEDLY) indicates it will come with any items included with the original packaging..it does not. Came with case, buds, and cord in generic box. This pair looks worse than my 5yr old buds, and appears to have been Frankensteined together, as one earbud is tremendously beat up and cracked, and the other looks lightly used. Both are dirty. Rubber pieces on buds are yellowed. Case is beaten up. I tried to overlook all of this until I tried to use them, and they don't work! One has static and really low volume compared to the other. VERY disappointed. Will be returning to buy new. Read more

I purchased these to replace my first pair of off brand bud, which I broke by dropping them many times... I should have just bought these ones in the first place! The ambient sound feature is perfect for when I am at work so I can still be aware of my surroundings while listening to my podcasts. The battery life does not last nearly as long as my off brand buds, but I just have to remember to charge the case more often... no big. Also, I have (of course) already dropped these buds a few times & they remain both fully intact & functional. This particular pair is refurbished but might as well have been brand new; they came in the original packaging with all of the extras included. Another quality Samsung product Read more
